The first time I tasted baked ricotta cakes was when I was living near the Gourmet Platter store in Corrimal, NSW. Once a week they had tastings of new products and I fell in love with the texture and flavour of their ricotta cakes with ham and capers.
I love making this recipe for friends and family. It’s really easy to make and oh so tasty!
Serves:
2-3 people
Ingredients
1 cup fresh ricotta
2 egg yolks
4 diced capers
fresh thyme leaves
100g chopped Dorsogna triple smoked ham
1/3 cup pizza cheese (mozzarella, parmesan and cheddar)
Mixed salad greens
Marinated kalamata olives
Olive Oil
1 Clove of garlic
Diced tomato
Lemon juice
Lemon zest
Chopped parsley
Instructions
Combine one cup of fresh ricotta cheese with the yolks of two eggs, diced capers, fresh thyme leaves, chopped dorsogna triple smoked ham, 1/3 cup of pizza cheese, salt and pepper to taste. Whisk up the two egg whites and fold into the mixture a third at a time until gently combined.
Spoon into buttered ramekins and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 350oF
Serve with a salad such as the Mediterranean salad pictured which includes mixed salad greens, marinated kalamata olive, olive oil, garlic, diced tomato, lemon juice, lemon zest and chopped parsley. Delicious!
